dividend yield, which is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its stock price. A high dividend yield can indicate that a company is returning a significant portion of its earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends. Please note that dividend yields can vary over time and are influenced by factors such as changes in stock prices and dividend payouts.

Dividend yield is a financial metric that indicates the annual return on investment (ROI) an investor receives from owning a particular stock, expressed as a percentage. It is calculated by dividing the annual dividend per share by the current price per share of the stock. Essentially, dividend yield shows how much income an investor can expect to receive from owning a stock relative to its current market price. A higher dividend yield suggests a higher return on investment from dividends, while a lower dividend yield indicates a lower return. #stockmarket #dividends #dividendyield #shareprice

Why & How declaration of DIVIDEND affect share price*********** After the declaration of a stock dividend, the stock's price often increases; however, because a stock dividend increases the number of shares outstanding while the value of the company remains stable, it dilutes the book value per common share, and the stock price is reduced accordingly.

*Fluctuations in Dividend Yields* We thought to give a brief overview of how dividend yield is impacted by stock price movements with this straightforward example. Consider a stock that consistently pays an annual dividend of $4. Initially, the stock is priced at $100, resulting in a dividend yield of 4% (calculated as $4 divided by $100). If the stock price rises to $120, while the dividend stays at $4, the yield reduces to approximately 3.33% ($4 divided by $120). On the other hand, if the stock price drops to $80, the yield would increase to 5% ($4 divided by $80). This example illustrates the inverse relationship between dividend yield and stock prices, assuming the dividend amount remains constant.

There's a lot of confusion about this... I’ve noticed a lot of advisors on social media claim that a stock's price goes down when you receive a dividend and that it is a "forced" taxable event. And that the stock price declines after a dividend is paid because there is less cash on the company's balance sheet. Therefore, you shouldn't buy dividend paying stocks. But that's not really true. ❌ While it is true that the price of a stock drops when a dividend is paid... The reason a stock's price changes when the dividend is paid, is because there is a period of time that the stock trades without the buyer of the stock being entitled to the dividend. If you buy the stock after what's called the "ex-dividend" date you are 𝗻𝗼𝘁 going to receive the dividend. Since the stock is trading with no entitlement to the dividend after the ex-dividend date it's worth less, so it's price drops. Think about it...would you pay the same price for a rental property that wasn't paying rent vs. one that was? But a stock that pays consistent dividends means the business is profitable (because a dividend is simply a distribution of profits to shareholders) and it's share price likely goes up over time.

What is the dividend discount model? The dividend discount model is one of my favorite stock models. It tells the investor what the present day cash value of the returns they will receive is based on the dividends and future sale of the stock. We have inputs of: -The Current Dividend: The annual amount we currently get paid for owning the company -The Dividend Growth Rate: The amount our dividend increases every year -Discount Rate: The minimum rate required to justify entering an investment. I set mine at roughly the SP500 -Stock Appreciation Rate: The rate our stock price will increase per year -Current Stock Price: The amount the stock presently trades for on the market This yields: -Total Cash Return which is discounted to today! FREE Model for you to play with for you investments: Dividend Discount Stock - Google Sheets Here is an example:

*Beginners’ Mistake!* 🔴🔴🔴🔴 If you rush to buy stocks of those companies that announces big dividends, then it’s not the right approach. Because, say, you buy a stock for dividend money. For instance, if Stock A announces a dividend of ₹10 and trades at ₹500 per share *After the ex-dividend date, the stock price usually decrease by the same dividend amount, which is ₹10, ie. It will become ₹490 per share* Because market knows ki ₹500 stock price par, the stock had ₹10 dividend value; but now, when dividend is gone, stock price should fall by the same proportion. And this happens automatically via demand and supply forces. Obviously, there can be some variation in the stock price fall because markets are not perfect. So, summary is, you earn money via dividends; but lose the same money on the stock price. Hence, capital depreciation ho jaayega. Hence, never invest in stocks for dividends thinking you are smart. Market is more smarter than you!!!
